Nice little scheme approved for a residential development in Bradford. Ticked all the boxes in terms of sustainable location, previously developed land and making a positive contribution to a significant housing shortfall.

However, the site was constrained by surrounding development on all sides, resulting in sub-standard separation distances. The planning officer at pre-app stage helpfully narrowed down the matters that needed further consideration, leaving Richard Foster at 2131 Ltd to work his magic to overcome potential issues with overlooking.
